That was really the idea behind Fog City Farms.""As long as we just stay true to ourselves and create a following for our culture and our main staples as a brand, which are quality and consistency, you can rely on us.""The only way to find security in the market in California is to build a brand, and in order to build a brand, you have to have a very consistent production, and that's why we went indoors."Connect with Fog CityFog City Farms: https://www.fogcityfarms.org/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/fogcityfarms/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fogcityfarms/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTS3ZY5O1_57TXH1gonPwWwTwitter: https://twitter.com/fogcityfarms1Connect With PippPipp Horticulture Website - https://pipphorticulture.com/Pipp Horticulture YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4nNnNCiwS5k5GX7BaXIrbAPipp Horticulture - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/pipphorticulturePipp Horticulture Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/pipphorticulture/Pipp Horticulture LinkedIn - <a...
